Slaves of today

In mid-March, I read in the newspaper how thirteen men who lived in prostitution were arrested in Navarre. She promises work in Spain to some of the most beautiful girls in the poorest places in Brazil. Well paid. Take at Zaragoza airport. Ask for your travel prize. If you don’t have money to pay the debt, go into an alternating club and start working. Every day, after twelve hours, they were denied the ability to go to the services. Sometimes they had only one resource a day. The Club could not leave if it was not accompanied by someone trusted.

One thing surprised me when I read the article. If a young man receives Molotov cocktails, the next day all his names, names, towns and so on appear in the press. In this case, no name has appeared. Is it more wrong to throw Molotov into a cocktail than to enslave some girls? The truth is that I have doubts that slave trade is banned in the twenty-first century.

If these men have been arrested by the police, it seems that they are. But I've seen that they've stood in an alternating club. In my jerk, I know what those clubs are. I know like everyone else that if there are girls coming in there for taste, most of them are slaves. Those Brazilian girls who look like them. I've read 90 percent somewhere.

The police know where they are. Half a dozen years ago, following an attorney from Vitoria-Gasteiz, I saw on two pages that this world was very well known. In Álava, for example, 342 girls (no 341 or 343), 30 of them seek their client on the street. 102 in slut houses in Vitoria-Gasteiz, 180 in village clubs, 30 in homes. Don't ask me what the difference is between a club and a brothel. I sell it to you as I bought it. But these data show that they dominate this world very well. So, one question: if most of them are slaves, how can the police not liberate them in everything, as in Navarre?

Dominique Strauss-Kahn (DSK), who was president of France, got into those mages, as the newspaper Le Monde wrote when a girl who was in the hands of that gentleman told the judge that he did not want to do anything of his liking and that another man had taken the Tatars and, whether he wanted to or not, had to leave DSK to satisfy his ghosts. Are the “clients” who use slaves not in emptiness?

Labor or sex slaves, children, women and men, our slaves are 12.3 million in the world according to the ILO.
